Kharis

Zack — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 12:16:10 +0000

Right up until the day that Kharis was born, we were sure she was going to be an extremely needy, grumpy baby.

The theory was: most babies are hard work, and Josiah was the happiest, easiest baby we’d ever seen, so our next one was going to be payback.

Nope.

This is my daughter :

(oh, and feel free to start trying to sweet-talk / bribe my wife into taking some pictures for you)

I can has a new desktop?

While waiting for something to compile at work today, I started playing with this picture in a photo editing program…

These are what I came up with:

And then a little more boldly:

Adding texture to photos doesn’t always make them look better, but I kind of like how these turned out.

If you do, and would like to use one for a desktop, you can download them in higher resolution here and here.

Thanksgiving – Sneak Peak

Zack — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:11:19 +0000

We took lots and lots of pictures this weekend and eventually I’ll get around to posting some of them.

In the meantime, here’s my desktop for this week:

I’ve Been Playing…

Zack — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 22:21:05 +0000

I know there are a handful of dangling loose ends on ye ol’ blog… I’ve been staying plenty busy lately with some side-work and some really neat things that God has been doing in our lives! Plus, two parents training for a half-marathon with a very mobile little 9-month-old turns out to be pretty time-consuming!

One of the recent distractions was my birthday, and my awesome family bought me a snazzy new camera lens, so Steph and I have been playing with it whenever we’ve had time.

Here are a few of my favorites so far…

The car he’s playing with was also a birthday present. Steph asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her the Camaro from Transformers, so she bought me a remote-controlled replica from the dollar store! Josiah loves chasing it around the kitchen :0)

This Week’s Desktop

A couple pics with nobody in them

Zack — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 14:45:20 +0000

I know nobody cares about pictures without people in them, but I’m stuck waiting for something, so here are a couple shots from the last week or two.

The flower is from our front yard, and the field was just something that caught my attention one day when I happened to have the camera in the car, so I pulled over. The lighting wasn’t very favorable, but ah well…

(you can click on them to see a slideshow, and there are a couple more after the drop)

My Desktop This Week

I’m still trucking through all the pictures we took at the ‘Gotta Be NC’ festival this weekend, but I just couldn’t wait to share this one with you.

I love it!

Yes, I do realize that I’m white as a ghost…

If that ain’t inspiration, I don’t know what is…

Flower

Zack — Fri, 01 May 2009 09:54:11 +0000

We’ve been planting our spring flowers, and I took some pictures of them.

With a little texture, this one turned out neat enough that I’m using it as a desktop this week, so I thought I’d share it with you.
